AI owned Gateway to the Void causes self-pwnage

An AI player captured an outpost on the same turn that I completed a Gateway to the Void there. The AI then kept trying to reinforce that system with predictable results. At least it stopped the Black Krakens. Suggestion: If the AI manages to capture a GttV, it should sell it if it doesn't want it. ...

Re: Ships disapearing, rogue ships comming from nowhere

I couldn't reproduce losing 10 ships at once but the rest looks like normal Psionic Snowflake activity. There is one hanging around Istélla/Robi a, but empire detection is too low to see it.

Re: Fix exception warning (patch)

Sorry for the delay. There are nine changed lines in the submitted patch, of which only six were applied. Geoff's suggestion of using catch (...) is a viable alternative in several cases as noted. The following files are each missing one change: network/Message.cpp server/ServerApp.cpp util/Director...

What about to open PR on the Github?
I closed my Github account when Microsoft bought them.

Problems with pull request #2536

Since pull request #2536 was merged, the server unconditionally listens on a UDPv6 port for discovery requests. This causes two problems: First, single player games should not be listening for server discovery since they should not be accepting LAN connections. Second, requiring IPv6 breaks single p...

Re: Too many empty systems

I think I figured this one out. Nebula systems seem to be counted as non-empty, so it is possible for the player to be surrounded by them. Since there are no stars yet, it looks like all empty systems.

Re: Linux - Building FreeOrion with different versions of Bo

Sorry for being (very!) slow responding. I've posted two new issues, one for gcc and one for clang.
gcc has a trivial workaround. I missed the real error before, and was trying to debug a bogus one that came later in the logs. Oops.
clang is proving more troublesome.

Re: Linux - Building FreeOrion with different versions of Bo

Freeorion built fine with clang 3.9 before pull #1838 fix_parser_memory_leaks. I can't get it to compile at all with that commit.

Re: DSO missing from command line

The problem is that you have a stale build directory. One of the .o or .so files was linked against an old system library and isn't getting rebuilt. You need to run ccmake again and recreate your config files.

Too many empty systems

I just quit a game where my home world was in the middle of a block of fourteen empty systems. There wasn't a single planet (let alone inhabitable) within supply range. The game before that had a single system within supply range, but nothing inhabitable.

I think the whole point is for effects to not be executed in python, just constructed from python scripts (compiled into already existing engine structures).
Fair enough.
